Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bowl by artist Grayson Perry, titled "Bowl". The bowl is rounded with a wide mouth and a narrow base. It is predominantly light blue with a slightly darker shade at the bottom. The rim of the bowl is beige. The bowl has a few cracks on its surface and a small base that appears to be unglazed. The background is dark at the top and lightens towards the bottom, with the bowl casting a shadow on the surface below it.
